Bova Cottages, Allegany State Park

Very nice cabins. 2 bedrooms. Full bed in one room, 2 twins in the other. Nice kitchen. Stove top, coffee pot, microwave, fridge and sink. Bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink. Fully stocked with toilet paper. Cabin stays nice and warm during the winter. 2 futons in the living room. Picnic table in the living room. Fire pit and covered porch. We already have our next visit booked.

Even with the current COVID situation this weekend was amazing. Very clean cottage. Lots to do. Perfect scenery. Decent weather. And friendly people!

My wife and I have never had a more disappointing stay in Allegany. For our honeymoon we reserved a bova cottage for a week. Some of the advertised amenities from when we booked in March were removed due to covid 19 such as the silverware, cups, and plates as well the linens for the beds. The two futon couches had covers but they were dirty and stained. The biggest issue we had was with the mouse infestation. After going to bed the first night we were awoken to gnawing and scratching sounds in the walls above our heads and in the utility closet in the main bedroom that is to the right of the bed. When we came out in the morning, we noticed several things had been chewed on including sealed food containers, dish sponges, utensils, and other things we brought to the cottage. Upon further inspection the cabinets and drawers were full of mouse droppings and other signs of infestation. I went to the admin building around 9am and reported the issue and was told that someone would be by with traps. by 5pm no one had come by. I went back up and the representative at the counter said that the maintenance manager for J-Con (the 3rd party that services the bova cottages) never came in that day and they couldn't get ahold of them. I went into town and purchased traps and by the end of the first night I had two mice trapped. The following afternoon while we were out someone dropped of a package of 4 traps. The next two nights I trapped three more mice. After that it seemed that that cottage was free of mice. Overall, I would not recommend reserving a bova cottage at this point. For the price i paid to have my honeymoon ruined by having to trap mice for half the week and the poor response by J-Con parks inc, it's just not worth it.

Always an enjoyable experience that allows one to social distance in nature.

Spent a week there and had a great time. No phone no tv just relaxing with family. We went horseback riding close by , went out on the lake in a row boat and saw some of the local sites.
